Abstract:

The city of Branson, Missouri, has a permanent population of around 4,400 and measures approximately 7 mi (11.3 km) along its main thoroughfare, State Highway 76. Branson attracts more than 6 million visitors per year. The congestion on State Highway 76 is severe (Level of Service F) during peak and some off-peak periods. The lack of right-of-way makes it impossible for the city to "build" out of its congestion problems. With this in mind, the Branson Travel and Recreational Information Program (TR IP) project was created. The Branson TRIP project was one of five Advanced Rural Transportation System Operational Tests selected in August 1997 by the Federal Highway Administration for deployment. The Branson area provided an excellent opportunity to test Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) technologies in a rural tourist destination.
